From September 2023, all pupils in primary school will be eligible for a free meal. Please note this does not include part -time nursery pupils who are able to have a meal at a cost. We are dedicated to investing significant time, effort, and resources in the development and promotion of nutritious menus for school children. Our primary goal is to ensure that each child has the opportunity to enjoy a well-balanced and wholesome meal every day, coupled with the chance to explore new and exciting culinary experiences.

We promote healthy eating at Ystrad Mynach Primary School and strongly encourage the eating of fruit as a playtime snack. Junior children can bring money to school and purchase fruit daily from our fruit trolley at a cost of 20p per day. We have a good selection of fresh fruit regularly delivered to school including apples and bananas.

We recognise the health benefits of staying hydrated.  We have many water fountains within school that the children can access. In the Juniors, children need to bring a water bottle (clearly marked with their name) to school that they can use to take a drink. Children in Nursery and the Infants receive a school milk drink every day.
